The Commodity Market Review 1997-98 is presented in two parts. Part I provides a synthesis of key developments in the global economy, commodity prices and export earnings as well as other developments affecting international trade in agriculture. It also summarizes selected recent FAO studies on commodities and trade as well as the activities of the FAO intergovernmental commodity groups. In this issue, two special features are reported: FAO's assessment of the possible consequences of the Asian financial turmoil on global agricultural commodity markets and agricultural trade prospects of the 70 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries that are parties to the Lome Convention. Part II reviews the current world market situation and short-term outlook for 21 individual commodities or commodity groups. These individual commodity reviews focus on market developments and summarize the more detailed commodity information and analysis available from FAO. Book jacket.

Food is one of the most basic resources that humans need for daily survival. Forty percent of the world’s population gains a livelihood from agriculture and we all consume food. Yet control over this fundamental resource is concentrated in relatively few hands. The 2008 food price crisis illustrated both the volatility and vulnerability built into the current global food system; at the height of the crisis, the number of hungry people on the planet climbed to over 1 billion. At the same time, there are serious ecological consequences that stem from an increasingly industrial model of agriculture that has spread worldwide. This book aims to contribute to a fuller understanding of the forces that influence and shape the current global food system. Author Jennifer Clapp explores how corporate control, inequitable international agricultural trade rules, and the financialization of farm commodities have each had a fundamental influence on the practices that dominate today’s global food system. By contrast, farmers and consumers, particularly in the developing world, have had little voice to change the rules of the game. But movements are emerging to challenge the dominant global system. The extent to which these alternative movements can displace it, however, remains to be seen.
